The pipe is trying to run something called
~ftp/pub/gr/graphology/hwa.faq, which won't work.
Try:
| (formail -r; cat /ftp/pub/gr/graphology/hwa.faq ) |$SENDMAIL -oi -t

It looks like your telling procmaiul that it needs to match on all of
these conditions before it can toss the mail.
Try splitting it into three recipes, one for the From, one for From: and
the other for the Subject tests.
i.e.
*^Subject:.*(Returned Mail|inactive user|Undeliverable message)
But since you run a mailing list - is it a good idea to toss messages
regarding inactive users?
